Hull KR vs Huddersfield Giants reaction

"Simon Woolford said: 'It's naturally a disappointment that we won't be seeing Jackson in a Giants shirt in the foreseeable future but as one door closes it gives an opportunity for someone else to step in and we are very close now to making a major move with a lad that’s keen to come over and make a difference for us.

"We’ve been holding out for a YES from Jackson's manager for around a month now and couldn’t let it drift on any longer in reality so we set a deadline of Wednesday after which we said we’d move on which we have. I think he’s a great player and he knows I wish him the best going forwards wherever that may be."

Charnley completed a spectacular diving finish in the corner to take his tally to 17 tries in just 14 appearances as the Wolves leapfrogged Castleford into third place in Super League before the Tigers face Catalans today. Late tries by Daryl Clark and Mike Cooper in the final 10 minutes gave Wolves a somewhat flattering winning margin.

Price said: "Two points is two points. I thought we did what we had to do to get the result and credit to the players, we will take the win and move on. After a full week off I thought there were certain aspects of our game that were flat at times but we found a way to win and the scoreline indicated that.

"I thought we missed a heap of opportunities to score and bombed six or seven try-scoring opportunities in the game. We rested Chris Hill and Stef Ratchford and lost Ben Murdoch-Masila in the warm up with a leg injury and Ben Pomeroy early in the game with a problem so that upset us a little with out interchanges.

"Credit to Salford, they had a real crack and they do stress you in certain parts of the field but I'm pleased to get the two points."

Barba injury fears played down

Justin Holbrook played down worries about Ben Barba's fitness as St Helens won a thriller with Wakefield.

The runaway leaders emerged 34-30 victors against the dogged Wildcats, but the withdrawal of Man of Steel favourite Barba with a knee problem caused some concern. However, coach Holbrook was taking a positive outlook.

"Ben Barba copped a knock on his knee but hopefully he'll be OK," said the Australian. "I'm really happy to win that game.

"We hung in there after giving Wakefield a lot of ball. In the first half we were in complete control and should have been even further in front. Full credit to Wakefield - we put ourselves under pressure with some uncharacteristic things. We dug really deep but to come back and win like that was fantastic."

Tigers 'not getting enough credit'

Daryl Powell believes Castleford are not getting the credit they deserve as they continue to push for a return to Old Trafford.

The Tigers reached the Grand Final last year after finishing 10 points clear at the top to claim their first League Leaders' Shield.

Castleford have failed to hit the heights of 2017 - when they scored almost 1,000 points - this season but they moved up to third courtesy of last week's nervy win over Wigan, and Powell is delighted with his injury-hit team.

"Everyone's talked about Warrington this year and how fantastic they're going and Wigan and how great they are and no-one has really spoken about us and we're in the mix," Powell said.

"We've beaten Wigan and Warrington with a depleted squad and it's awesome where we're at. It's credit to everyone at the club, the character that has been shown.

"We've had a lot of expectation on us this year based on what happened last year and we've had to work hard to manoeuvre the team around.

"We've shown a lot of belief and confidence that anyone who comes into the team will do a job for us.
